Louisiana DUI Laws

In Louisiana, the drivers who are arrested for DWI have only 15 days to request a hearing from
the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, or else their license will be suspended. In
Louisiana, if you are arrested for drunk driving and your blood alcohol level is below a .05, it
will be presumed that you are not driving under in the influence of alcohol.

Louisiana drunk driving laws allow for prosecution for DWI of persons who are either under
the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, or who are driving with a blood alcohol content of .08%
or more. If the test results are between .05% and .08%, there is no presumption regarding
alcohol impairment. However, where the blood alcohol content is .08% or greater, there is a
presumption that the driver is impaired. DWI / DUI arrests are generally misdemeanors, but may
be considered a felony DWI where there are two drunk driving prior convictions within 10 years.
Like some of the other states, these drunk driving laws are only for drivers age 21 and older. For
those under 21 who are accused of drunk driving, the alcohol intoxication legal limit is .02%.

A law enforcement officer can obtain blood test, breath test or urine test and the driver is bound
to allow these tests. Refusal to take the test following an arrest shall be admissible in court as
consciousness of guilt, and carries with it additional driver's license consequences and penalties.
Upon determination that you meet either of these criteria for a Louisiana DWI arrest you will be
charged with a Louisiana DWI and immediately. Upon arrest for a Louisiana DWI there will be
two legal proceedings initiated. One is of a criminal nature and the second is of a civil nature.

If
you have refused to submit to the above mentioned tests, your license may be suspended:

For a period of six months for a first refusal

For 545 days if you have previously refused to submit to such a test

If you have an unlawful BAC, your driving privilege will also be suspended:

For six months for a first offense DWI

For one year for second offense DWI

A drunk driving arrest can also result in the loss of driving privileges

"My daughter had been getting phone calls at all hours of the night, but whoever was at the end of the line kept hanging up. I used DWI-Records.org to find a lot of scary information about what turned out to be her secret boyfriend. I confronted her about it and convinced her that he wasn't a good guy if he had a bank lien and a DWI arrest record. Thanks!"

"I used your site to check up on a new business partner at a little antique business, I found that he had three DWI arrests on his record. He wasn't the kind of guy I wanted driving my pricey antiques around in the back of his truck. You helped me avoid a potentially serious headache, I'm so glad I found this service."

"My neighbor had been down on her luck since she said she got laid off from her delivery job. I felt bad for her, so I offered her some babysitting work. But like I do for all my babysitters, I checked her out with your site. I found that she had two DWI convictions! Laid off my butt! Needless to say, I didn't let her drive my kid to the park."

-- Anna Peterson

"After a string of real crazy girlfriends, I don't take any chances. I keep dui-records.org in my favorites and look into anyone I start dating. I've probably saved a lot of time and sanity by staying away from people irresponsible enough to have multiple DWI records and a criminal history of drug abuse and violence."
